Ali Shokri
I never changed my vision, I strengthened it to look differently at the trees. They are not created just for fruits, they have another message. They have feelings, they live just like us. more
Wayne Suggs – Portrait of a Photographer
Wayne and another photographer by the name of Mike Groves were instrumental in the creation of the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument. more
The Transformational Power of Winter
Moorland streams, usually unnoticed, take the guise of snakes, upturned feeding troughs become space invaders, rough moorland becomes sand dunes, roads become lightning strikes, riverbanks ice realms. more
On Equivalence, Expression, and Art
Photographers aiming for equivalence are most often those who are intrinsically motivated to find value in the creative process for its beneficial effects on their own psyche and on the quality of their inner experiences. more
The Art of Leaves
There is artistry to a leaf that I find hard to put into words. In looking at leaves, the colours and veining, the patterns and textures, I get a good feeling. more
Turning Back from the Edge of the World
Overall the mood is quite dark and brooding. There is even a sense of melancholia, particularly if we bring our knowledge of these deserted, abandoned islands to the image itself. At St Kilda and Boreray we have reached the end of the world but we are not welcome. more

End Frame: Callanish Shadows by Wojciech Kruczynski
The only aspect allowed to move freely outside this circle is the energy flow. Where is it going and why? What other energy resides in the circle? Why are they there? more
Biblioscapes Reviews
A brief background to Biblioscapes. It is a lockdown side project I started back in April 2020 as a way of sharing a selection of the photobooks I own, offering people an opportunity to view the books as flick-through videos. more
Humans at Work
In the early 1980s, I graduated from Edinburgh University with an honours degree in Environmental Chemistry. My final year research dissertation examined chemical processes involved in the destruction of the ozone layer. I never went on to pursue a scientific career because, back then, environmentalism really wasn’t taken seriously and there were very few jobs that weren’t about trying to keep the big polluters just about on the right side of the law. more
The Karakoram by Colin Prior
This book and these photographs truly are the summits of Colin Prior’s lifelong journey of the imagination. Although it has taken more than 100 years, finally, Vittorio Sella’s baton has been well and truly passed on to Colin Prior. more
Paulo Valdivia
After talking to Paulo, and reflecting on the many interviews I’ve undertaken for On Landscape, it’s clear that for everyone inspired at an early age by a parent or relative, there will be others who come to photography later in life. It doesn’t really matter when you start making images or begin any new creative pursuit, so long as the timing is of your choosing, and you trust yourself. What comes across in our interview with Paulo is a more
Being Explored by the Landscape
Photography has also forced me to really look. The trees used to be just trees, bushes were bushes and in the sky, there could be clouds and maybe it rained. But now I see shapes, patterns and relationships. more
Photographing the Un-Grand Landscape
With a fine-tuned ability to see, photographic opportunities will inevitably increase; but that will be of small value unless there is a willingness to receive them with an open mind. more
